There goes my social life.
Happy I got the half price yearly sub on cyber monday heh heh.
Will any of these shows also be on Hulu? My personal preference when it comes to streaming is Hulu, so I hope that they will be made available.
To my knowledge Hulu has only acquired Space Dandy.
Is it going to be called Nobunagan or Nobunagun? Nobunagun makes a lot more sense to me.
Nobunagun. Sorry, typo
So much a good blu ray release for any of these.
Yeah, I know; those Blu-Ray releases for any of these shows will be great.
How is Nobunagun a real show.
Glade to see funi ot several titles for simulcast. And with that. Everyday will spent tryin to keep up with everythin between Funi and Cr.
So far I have enjoyed all the shows, but Space Dandy is still not there for me. Will give it a honest chance.
Out of all these new simulcasts D-Frag and Noragami are the best, in my opinion, but they’re all really great and I’m glad Funi got to stream them
Space Dandy was wonderful at Otakon Vegas. I am ready for Maken-Ki Two after the first season seemed to rush itself at the end. I hope it does better this time around. Ecchi for everyone.
Excited for Maken-Ki Two and Noragami! No-Rin looks like it could be fun 🙂
